In a small town, Rania and Daniel, cousins who have not seen each other for a long time, are reunited at a family reunion. Rania, who has been living abroad for a long time, returns to visit her family and feel like home again. Meanwhile, Daniel, her cousin who seems to have changed a lot, becomes a charming and mysterious figure. Their initially awkward meeting begins to develop into something deeper and more intimate.
Rania stepped into the living room of their extended family home. The aroma of cooking and the laughter of the guests filled the room. After years abroad, she felt a little awkward among a crowd of people she didn't know well.
"Rania?" the voice drifted softly to her ears.
She turned and saw Daniel standing in the doorway, wearing a black shirt that accentuated his sturdy body. Rania's eyes widened. "Daniel? How long has it been since we've seen each other?"
Daniel smiled thinly, approaching Rania. "Too long. I almost didn't recognize you with your new look."
Rania laughed lightly, feeling relieved. "You've changed just as much. So, how's your life?"
"You know, it's a bit complicated," Daniel replied, looking at Rania with a meaningful gaze. "But that's a long story. What about you? How's life abroad?"
"Pretty good, but I miss home," Rania said, looking around. "Missing the family atmosphere."
Daniel moved a little closer, as if wanting to speak more personally. "Then, let's talk further. Maybe outside?"
Rania nodded, feeling an unusual vibration. The two of them stepped onto the terrace, away from the crowd.
"Rania," Daniel said in a more serious tone, "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but there's something I need to tell you."
Rania looked at him curiously. "What is it?"
Daniel paused for a moment, searching for words. "I've felt an attraction that I can't explain. I feel like there's something more between us, even though we're cousins."
Rania was taken aback, not knowing what to say. "Daniel, we're cousins..."
"I know," Daniel interrupted, his voice soft but determined. "But I can't help this feeling. How about we give ourselves a chance to understand more about what we're feeling?"
Rania felt her heart pounding. "This feels wrong, but I can't ignore this feeling either."
Daniel stepped closer, just inches from Rania's face. "Then let's try and see where this feeling takes us. But, if in the end we feel like this isn't right, we can stop anytime."
Rania took a deep breath, feeling a deep dilemma. "Okay, Daniel. Let's try, but we have to be careful."
Daniel reached out his hand, which Rania gently took. "Thank you, Rania. I'm sure we'll find the right path."
The cheerful laughter of a small child was heard loudly in the backyard of the house. A young woman with long flowing hair, wearing simple clothes, smiled gently as she watched the five-year-old boy running after butterflies flying among the flowers. The woman was Sari, a nanny who had worked for Mr. Rendra's family for almost three years.
"We are divorced, Adams." She sighed and wanted to walk away, but he held her. "It doesn't matter." He answered, his voice laced with determination. "I don't love you anymore." "That doesn't matter either. What matters is that I want you, and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it." ***** Alicia's life has been a series of ups and downs. She suffered abuse from her husband and his family because she couldn't give him a child. She thought she had seen it all, but not until the day she returned home only to receive the divorce papers from her husband's parents. She pleaded with them, but was met with deaf ears, and so she signed the documents and left. Little did anyone know that she was pregnant. She returned six years later with her baby girl only to find her Ex-husband craving her once more. How will she take this, and what other surprises does fate have in stock for her?
As a simple assistant, messaging the CEO in the dead of night to request shares of adult films was a bold move. Bethany, unsurprisingly, didn't receive any films. However, the CEO responded that, while he had no films to share, he could offer a live demonstration. After a night filled with passion, Bethany was certain she'd lose her job. But instead, her boss proposed, "Marry me. Please consider it." "Mr. Bates, you're kidding me, right?"
Marriage was a bed of thorns for Stella. She lived like an overworked and unhappy slave for six years in her matrimonial home. One day, her uncaring husband, Waylon said to her, "Ayla will be back soon. You have to move out tomorrow." "I want a divorce," responded Stella. She left without shedding a tear or trying to change Waylon's stone-cold heart. Days after their divorce, they met again. Stella was in the arms of another man. Waylon's blood boiled at the sight of her looking so happy. "So, you couldn't even wait a while before jumping into another man's arms?" he queried distastefully. "And who are you to question my decision? It's my life, so I call the shots. Stay out of my business!" Stella fired at him before turning to look at her new man with shiny eyes. Waylon immediately lost it.
Elena, once a pampered heiress, suddenly lost everything when the real daughter framed her, her fiancé ridiculed her, and her adoptive parents threw her out. They all wanted to see her fall. But Elena unveiled her true identity: the heiress of a massive fortune, famed hacker, top jewelry designer, secret author, and gifted doctor. Horrified by her glorious comeback, her adoptive parents demanded half her newfound wealth. Elena exposed their cruelty and refused. Her ex pleaded for a second chance, but she scoffed, “Do you think you deserve it?” Then a powerful magnate gently proposed, “Marry me?”
Two years ago, Ricky found himself coerced into marrying Emma to protect the woman he cherished. From Ricky's perspective, Emma was despicable, resorting to underhanded schemes to ensure their marriage. He maintained a distant and cold attitude toward her, reserving his warmth for another. Yet, Emma remained wholeheartedly dedicated to Ricky for more than ten years. As she grew weary and considered relinquishing her efforts, Ricky was seized by a sudden fear. Only when Emma's life teetered on the edge, pregnant with Ricky's child, did he recognize-the love of his life had always been Emma.
My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
